Transfer Rumours JANUARY TRANSFER THREAD

Anyone think we may get that striker from RB Leipzig now they signed the Arsenal nipper?

 

I was all for a clear out but we need someone decent to come in else it is another poor window. I hope we are not complacently walking into a relegation fight we could otherwise pull away from.

 

Yeah, that is the worry.

 

I trust Ralph to get the best out of any summer signings...some of our failures before can be at least partly placed at the previous managers' door. Look how Bednerak and Hojberg have stepped up with training.

 

Just have to hope they learned their lesson

 

Yep business early in the summer please............don't drag it out saints,and end up losing out.

 

That is assuming that this isn't part of the lesson they've learned. It's hard to shake the feeling that under the previous owner we much preferred telegraphing the willingness to buy than the act of actually spending money, and I don't get the sense that our new owner is any more interested in splashing cash.

 

Well that's one summer signing we wont make then! It will be the same old story.

 

Seems like we need a DoF to sort this squad out and someone who has a plan for the next transfer window ASAP.

 

3 hours to go. Plenty of time.
We could play 2 matches in that time.

 

If MP2 was still in charge I would finish that off with

...and still not score

 

And I'd fancy to score in that time these days!

Edit- beaten to it by no7

 

The premise behind your post is very true, that is we do need to bring in some much added quality. We can only ‘lose out’ if:
1. There is such a player on the market.
2. We have the financial ability to buy.
3. We have a clear view that such a player is better than the existing squad and that they can integrate into the squad quickly and effectively.

Simply buying players to satisfy the urge to do something has proved, as others have said, a poor strategy. Everyone loses, the club, the player, and us the fans, if no improvement is forthcoming after spending millions of pounds. Just now there are three such players on our books that we haven’t seen for ages. If they had turned out ok, we would be in a much better place, but they didn’t and are now tying up vast sums of cash. So less money to spend again.

 

I still think someone will come in...

 

I thought that we were told nobody would be coming in, or perhaps maybe one, of the right one was available. Is this not what Ralph said end of December/beginning of Jan?

 

That deal was voted down, an amendment was made to that proposal and Ralph has gone back to Europe to see if he can get a better deal.


Unlikely to do it in 3 hours though. Could take a while.

 

Nope. We are done for this window...........(imo)

 

We will see.

 

Is cbk back yet?
